He finished fourth in voting for Illinois Mr. Basketball in his senior season, and was recruited by Bill Self. He was selected to the State Farm Holiday Classic all-tournament team in three consecutive seasons, from 2000-02.

In the 2005-06 college basketball season, Randle was one of three team captains for the Fighting Illini, along with Dee Brown and James Augustine. Randle had his best game playing Wisconsin on the road on January 31, 2006 with a double-double.

In the 2006-07 college basketball season, Randle once again was looked to as a leader for the Fighting Illini, along with Warren Carter, Jamar Smith, Rich McBride, and Shaun Pruitt. He had an early season groin injury that caused him to miss most of the non-conference schedule.
